<P>You can also use the search page and check the box that says "Show only eBooks" though this will also return results in DAISY format. You may also want to browse books in the <a href="http://openlibrary.org/subjects/accessible_book#ebooks=true">Accessible Book</a> subject facet.</p> |

<p>The Internet Archive and participating libraries have selected digitized books from their collections that are available to be borrowed by one patron at a time from anywhere in the world for free. These books are available in BookReader for mat and usually in PDF and ePub formats. You can choose which format you prefer as you complete the borrowing process.</p> |

<p>BookReader editions may be read online immediately in your web browser. No special software is required. Other Internet Archive loans are managed through <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/">Adobe Digital Editions</a> and will require software installation on your computer or device.</p> |
